I am learning all the new auth, crud, and mail tools now, and I have
one question:
Does web2py use the 'default' controller as an implicit global
controller across a single application, or is that even possible?
Here is my situation. When I create my:
## default.py controller
def user():
return dict(form = auth())
Then I expose:
## request
application/default/user/login
Which is not as clean in terms of MVC, because I in effect have an
additional (virtual) controller (named 'user') created, which then
calls the function 'login'.
Ideally, I would like:
## request
application/user/login
...to expose the function, which would require treating 'default' as a
global controller, as it were. I tried creating a 'login' controller,
but the request still required an extra term in the request (app/login/
user/login) - not pretty.
I hate to say Rails does something like this with the 'application'
controller, because any code in that file is global to the app.
I guess what I am looking for is web2py to look in the 'default'
controller first if any parsed controller/function candidate can not
be found, and only then raise the error on failure.
That way we can have a simpler request syntax (more RESTful), and the
result would be a good fit in the case of auth, crud, and mail,
because these are usually site-wide administrative functions anyway.
Programming is fun again, thanks to web2py!
